WOW to that 1898 half. And the '08-D quarter with the rainbow toning on the extreme bottom of the reverse.

I, too, like the Barber series, and have been putting a little more concentration toward them here lately. I've got all but the 1892-O, 1892-S, and 1893-S Barber halves - still missing 7 of the Barber quarters to complete that set, and need 15 of the Barber dimes to complete that set. I think they are under-appreciated right now, but given all the new collectors coming on line with the start of the State Quarters and the Presidential dollars, it's posible that, given time, alot of those new collectors will take an interest in the Barber series since, for the most part, they are relatively easy to come by at an affordable price.

I can understand why you collect barbers; they're probably my favorite design along with the early small eagle reverse coins...

SeatedNut: Check the mintmark on that 1909 S half dollar. I am pretty sure that it is the inverted mintmark variety.
(Hey, I can brag, I discovered it.)
Good luck.

This is what I found on the top of the pile! Do the 5 Cents Count?

Nope Jeffery, Barber coinage only consists of the Dime, Quarter, and Half Dollar.

ShadowCreator: Thanks, They look the same but reversed heads. I was looking through my stuff and that was the closest!
PS: What is the proper term for these? Nickels?

In high grades, they actually look quite different. In low grades however, I suppose I could see the resemblence. They're usually referred to as ' Liberty nickels', or ' V nickels'. Key date is 1885, I think.

mfry, I always had the impression that I would not like a set of Barber coins in G to VG. However, seeing those in the album pages has changed my mind. They look really nice. I am going tostart a set of the halves. A most attractive set of coins.
